When did Zhang Aiping order the troops to withdraw to Haimen?

The Zhejiang Military Region sent an urgent telegram: Stop the operation immediately, withdraw to Haimen and wait!

It turned out that Zhang Aiping of the East China Military Region Navy felt very sad after learning the news that gunboat No. 3 had been sunk. He immediately reported to the East China Military Region. Considering that the enemy's intention to attack Dachen Island had been noticed by the military region, the military region ordered a halt to the operation.

After this battle with the enemy, the mood of the troops was very low, and many people had different opinions. As a maritime commander, Chen Xuejiang was so ashamed that he could not lift his head. Wherever he went, Army soldiers looked at him with complaining eyes.

When Chen Xuejiang came out, a person said behind him: "I have long said that small gunboats cannot go to sea to fight, but they don't believe it. Isn't this a mistake?"

Another person continued: "A few small gunboats, who don't know how high the sky is, dared to collide with other people's big warships. Instead of eating the fat, they were eaten by the meat. What a lesson..."

A veteran with a Henan accent put it even worse: "I have been fighting in the South and North for so many years without losing a single hair on my head. Don't let this unsatisfactory gunboat cost me my life when the revolution is victorious." Shark!"

Faced with everyone's accusations, Chen Xuejiang felt shameless to face everyone. He had only one option, which was to remain silent.

The political commissar of the 62nd Division, Sun Yunhan, understood Chen Xuejiang’s mood best. At this moment, he did not blame the gunboat brigade.

However, at a meeting, Commander Zhou became anxious: "What if you don't say anything? We have to give the military region an answer!"

Chen Xuejiang said after a long time: " We have to go back to Haimen, but it’s not the right time for us to go back!"

Master Zhou asked: "Why? When should we go back?"

"Unfortunately, gunboat No. 3 is here. The sinking is mainly my responsibility. I did not have strict battlefield discipline."

Master Zhou was a little unhappy and said: "Comrade Chen Xuejiang, you are doing this again, why don't you talk about it now. Ah? Let's sit down and talk about it seriously."

Chen Xuejiang said worriedly: "In my opinion, it will be difficult to do ideological work in Haimen at this time. It is also difficult for the army and the fishermen to do ideological work."

Master Zhou said anxiously: "Then what should we do next? What good ideas do you have?"

Chen Xuejiang thought for a while and replied: "No matter what, I don't think we can just go back to Haimen. We should win the battle before going back, even if we win a small victory. In this case, we can have an explanation for everyone." "

Deputy Commander Sun asked eagerly: "Comrade Chen Xuejiang, please tell me your opinion in detail!"

Chen Xuejiang replied seriously: "I think, We should choose an outlying island on Dachen Island. This outlying island should be easy to attack and capable of inflicting heavy losses on the enemy. Deputy Commander Sun, are you familiar with the situation here? Are there any islands like this? ”

Deputy Commander Sun then said: "You have a good idea!"

In this way, they carefully analyzed the enemy's situation and thought that they would put off attacking Dachen Island for the time being and choose an easy enemy island to attack. Target.

Their analysis is: There is Yijiangshan Island near Dachen Island. Although there are not many defenders on this island, it is only a short distance from Dachen Island. It is easy to be attacked by Dachen Island when attacking. The enemy found that enemy ships could arrive in time to support, so it was not easy to capture.

There is another island called Pishan Island. A month ago, on June 2, Pishan Island pirate leader Lu Weixiang led more than 600 people to suddenly land on Yuhuan while the PLA garrison was changing defenses. A sneak attack was carried out in Kanmen Town on the island.

The Eighth Company of the 220th Regiment of the 74th Infantry Division of the People's Liberation Army defending the island and the subsequent reinforcements immediately organized a counterattack and annihilated more than 100 of these fierce pirates. The remaining enemies were defended by the People's Liberation Army It was so tight that they might not be able to escape if they fought again, so they had to flee in panic and retreat to the sea.

Although the defensive strength of Pishan Island is stronger than that of Yijiangshan Island, and there are still several boats stationed there, it is close to 40 nautical miles away from Dachen Island. During the attack, Dachen Island is difficult to detect for a while, and even if it is noticed, it is difficult to detect it. It is difficult to reinforce due to the distance. Even if we are reinforced, we can retreat proactively.

After the analysis, Chen Xuejiang said loudly: "I think it is more beneficial for us to attack Pishan."

Another person also said: "I think so, as long as the gunboats at the anchorage are Drive away...
